Fun games such as apple bob- bing and spoon feeding while blind folded proved to be 'damp successes. The second half of the program was devoted to a campfire setting. Each Six pro- vided entertainment and as a result the leaders feel there is great talent in the Pack. An unexpected visitor from "Ghostland" discended upon the Pack and after the boys desh- rouded this apparition they all welcomed their former Akela, M. Fridenburg. During closing exercises Scoutmaster Fridenburg invest- ed two new leaders,Grace Hodg- kinson and Hans Schipper. This impressive ceremony was wit- nessed by the Cubs to show them that leaders, Iike themselves, must also make solemn prom- ises to do their best. Cubs were dismissed and treats handed to them as they left for home. CROWN THEATRE HARRISTON WED.

TOPICS by IV AN KERSELL, Wingharn Recreation Director, Interest has remained in the Saturday Recreation Program but unfortunately a problem has arisen in its operation. Wing- ham District High School has given the recreation depart- ment access to school gym fa- cilities on Saturdays as long as certain Conditions are met. One of these is that the recre- ation director be presented to supervise in addition to mem- bers of his staff, This is not an unreasonable request but one which the director is going to find difficult to fulfill. Last Saturday's program had to be Cancelled because the director, along with some committee members had to go to Owen Sound to an 0,12.A. Confer- ence. Two weeks hence he will be at the Training Insti- tute of the Society of Directors of Municipal Recreation in On- tario. Itis also foreseen now that there will be other oc- casions when he will be unable to supervise. Each time we have to can- cel the program the youngsters lose interest and if the program cannot be conducted on a regu- lar basis it would be better to discontinue it altogether. With the ice now in the arena minor hockey will soon be in full swing. This will occupy much of the boys' time on Saturdays, and the figure skating activi- ties will also soon be underway. The Recreation Program will probably be reduced to develop the Puppet Theatre. Consider- able interest has been shown in thisactivity and it can be con- ducted in the arena hall. 0--0--0 Hockey practices started Tuesday afternoon with the Midgets practising from 5;30 to 6:30 p.m. and the Juveniles from 6:30 to 7;30. Figure skat- ing classes commence Thurs- day, November 4th at 5 p.m. There will be an evening social in the arena hall to mark the occasion. 0--0--0 There was a meeting of the Wingham Minor Hockey Associ- ation last Sunday evening in the board room of Station CKNX. Those in attendance were Rog- er and Helen West, Murray Stainton, Dell Ewing, Mac Rit- chie, Bill Lockridge and El- wood Irwin. The recreation director was invited to sit in on the meeting. Roger West re- mains as president with his wife as secretary and Roland Kauf- man the new treasurer. The association submitted its request for ice time. Hock- ey practices will be as follows; Monday 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. -Midgets 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. - Bantams 11111111111111511111112111111111111111111111111111111111111 SHOWPLACE OF WINGHAM — PHONE 357-1630 WED.-THUR.-FRI.

There are coaches for pretty well all the teams but there is an urgent need for a coach to work with the juvenile team. 0--0--0 Last Saturday the annual conference of the Lake Huron Zone of the Ontario Recreation Association was held in Owen Sound. Delegates from Wing - ham to the conference includ- ed Mrs. Harold Wild, Bill Con- ron, Stewart Beattie and the recreation director. The theme was "Recreation in the Small Community" including such topics as the use of school fa- cilities in recreation programs, parks as a recreation facility and the role of the recreation committee, I was impressed with the deep understanding laymen have of recreation, for the O, R. A. is a lay organiza- tion. There was not one mayor or member of a town council from any community in attendance, yet there should be two coun- cil members appointed to every recreation committee. The mayor of Owen Sound was pre- sent for the dinner but not for any of the discussions. It was forcefully pointed out by a delegate from Exeter that recreation programs are a municipal service provided by municipal government. It is a service that is as important as any other municipal service provided by municipal govern- ments and has an equal and justified claim on the tax dol- lar, Far too few town and city councils in Ontario hold this opinion. Until they recognize and appreciate this fact recre- ation budgets will continue to be the last budget considered and recreation departments will continue to operate on what is left of the tax dollar after the needs of all other departments and services are met. The guest speaker was Dr. James Gillies, professor of Ec- onomic Land Development and Real Estate at the Univer- sity of California in Los Ange- les. As a boy he lived in Tees- water. eeswater. Dr. Gillies was introduced by Mr. Conron of Wingham, He spoke to the delegates on "Rec- reation in a Changing Econ- omy". Briefly stated, his message was that there are more people with more leisure time and with more money to spend. This is the challenge of the recreation profession, He also made mention of the needs of the senior citizens and remind- ed the recreationist that pro- viding for the needs of the old- er members of society is one of the chief responsibilities.

Newcomer Nora Finnigan took the high single with 249 and the high triple with 635. Not a bad night's work, Nora. Wee Jamie (Bain, that is) took the men's high single with 293 and also the high triple with 665. I could use some coaching, Jim!

Edna's Terriers have 22 points, Barb's Poodles 21 and Jean's Shepherds 20, The corner pins are trouble- some at times, but we are get- ting expert at picking them. Verna Steffler captured the honors for high single with a 283. Ruth Tiffin bowled a close second with 279. High triple was captured by Ruth Tiffin with a 678 and Verna Steffler bowled a close second with 655. 0--0--0 THURSDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE Matt Boyd had the high tri- ple for the men last week with a '752.

Team standings: Gwen's Go- phers 35; Audrey's Angels 26; Harriston Man Elected President of W.O.A.A. Dick Parker of Harriston was named president of the Western Ontario Athletic Association at its annual meeting held here on Friday evening. The Wingham- based inghambased association provides or- ganized sport over a wide area of Western Ontario, with Alf Lockridge acting as its secre- tary -treasurer. Mr. Parker suc- ceeds John Crewson of Wingham, who has been president of the organization for the past two years. George Wicke, of Millbank, becomes first vice-president; Hugh Hodge of Clinton, second vice-president and Bob Braith- wait, of Durham, the third vice- president. Returned as directors were Joe Milton of Orangeville and Harold Chambers of Elora. Al- len Baxter, Walkerton, and • Murray Sinclair, Port Elgin, were elected to the board as new members. In taking office the new president complimented Mr. Crewson on his efforts during his term of office, stating that he had done a fine job for the league. PRESIDENT REPORTS Before the election of offic- ers the retiring president, John Crewson, outlined activities of the league during the past year. He said the big problem facing the league is the fact that the Ontario Hockey Association has terminated its affiliation with the W , O, A. A. and negotiations between the two groups have not brought about a settlement as yet. Ile said, however, that another meeting is scheduled for next week and that there is some hope of reaching an agree- rnent then. The president said that the O.H,A. wanted to take over in all towns over 1, 500 in popula- tion, and so far hasn't changed its attitude and Mr. Crewson doesn't think the W. O. A. A. will change its mind. He ex- plained that minor teams want- ing to compete in the 0,M.11.A. playoffs will have to enter dir- ectly, unless some changes oc- cur. He said hockey this year looks promising as 13 clubs in the southern grouping have de- cided to stay in the Western despite the action of the O.H.A. in terminating the affiliation. During the year attendance at softball and hardball gameswas up and the credit for the situa- tion should go to such men as Jim Inglis, George Wicke and Hugh Hodge, who have given a tremendous amount of time to the various sports. LISTOWEL MAN NAMED Bud Bitton of Listowel was awarded the Mike Weichel tro- phy for his contribution to sport during the year. This is an an- nual award, won last year by Scotty McLean of Harriston. In presenting the trophy Jim Inglis voiced regret that Mr. Weichel could not be on hand himself, and said that Mr. Bitton has made a real contribution to sport in his own community and in Western Ontario. He told the group that Mr. Bitton is largely responsible for the come -back of girls' softball. The various conveners gave their reports on the ball pro- gram during the year, which had been highly successful. Three new trophies were pre- sented to the league. They were the Hugh Hodge Trophy for bantam ball which was won by Belgrave; the Dick Parker Trophy for Juvenile home- brew softball, won by Linwood; the Tony Godfrey Memorial Trophy, presented by Peter Vath of Wingham, in memory of the late Mr. Godfrey, who made a large contribution to sports in Western Ontario, won by Belgrave. The new Pee Wee trophy purchased by the league for softball champions was taken by Atwood this year. GROUP MEETING Manager Alf Lockridge an- nounced that the group meet- ing will he held on November !lith. Ile said that insurance coverage for players will be the same as in previous years, with a premium of 85,00 per player. The minutes of last year's annual meeting were read by Roger West and Mt. Crewson went over the financial report, showing a successful year with league finances in good con,- dition. Winghann Advance+Times, Thursday, Nov, 4, 190 -.
